E. Ross Tells Interesting Story of Early Queen's Rugby Days. Dr, A. B. Ross, member for King- ston in the Federal House, and at one time a prominent football player with Queen's, tells & very Interesting story of the discovery of Guy Curtis of Queen's fame. Dr. Ross' story as he recorded in the Queen's. Jour: nal of yesterday's issue, is as fol- lows: When the writer entered Queen's he had never seen a rugby football, 80 while he was reading a paper in the Reading Room, he was surprised by a tap on his shoulder and an or- der to turn ont for rugby practice. The voice came from a short blocky fellow, known as Jim Smellle. Obedient to orders he procured a suit proceeded to the campus, took his place on one side and awaited orders. ' He was told, "Tackle low and stop any player running our way with the ball." Soon a Jim Jeffries, with lots of hair and a ferocious appearance, came like a cannon ball our way The writer was faced with two fears, one the fear that a madly approach- ing giant, and the other the fear of being pronounced a quitter if he let the giant pass without a tackle--so he plunged low against the glant and both went down on the cinder path. The next day the writer was surprised to learn that he had qual- ified for the first team because he dared to, and did successfully tackle the great Tom Marquis, a noted pugilist and a far famed mathema- tician. The next week the first team travelled to Ottawa to meet the De- minion Rugby champions, the Otta- wa College team, that 'had for years defeated al] contenders. The team had a strong board of strategy, headed by ome "Mike" Fallon, of Kingston, now the highly revered and honored Bishop Fallon of Lon- don, Ont. He certainly had a bag- ful of tricks which made his team invincible, Queen's were defeated 11 to 9 in a close match and the decisions of the referee were questioned and the match replayed the next Saturday at Brockville with the same score, 11 to 9. It was a sorrowful day for Queen's in many ways for rumors said our Professors of Philosophy, Greek and Latin "and History had waged money and lost. Our defeats were due to lack of a captain, and one was found not in the line of players, but in a strange place. A student known to few and learned, it was sald in the mysteries of Chemistry, was observ- ed in the area behind the goal posts, each practice day. His catching and return kicking were pleasing to the players and so' Guy Curtis was tound, elected captain and under his tutprship Queen's won her first yugby championship: : Science Defeated Meds.

Meds. went down to defeat at the hands of the Science team, the score being 9-5. Bibby starred for the Medical men making. several fine catches and runs. The Science team kicked for four rouges and just after half time when Bibby could not hold onto a slippery ball, the Science men jumped onto the ball for a touch.
